Magimix by Robot-Coupe Colored Vision Toaster

Magimix by Robot-Coupe Colored Vision Toaster : "Why didn't someone invent this years ago?" is one of the questions people often ask about the clever Magimix Vision Toaster. It took Magimix by Robot-Coupe years to perfect this innovative colored-vision toaster, but it was well worth the wait. As the world's first see-through toaster, the Magimix Vision Toaster does away with interrupting the toasting process to check on your toast. For ultimate browning you can choose an automatic browning setting or simply glance at the glass-sided toaster and press a button to pop up your toast, bagels, baguettes and buns when they're browned to your liking. Patented long-life quartz elements ensure even browning on both sides and the double-insulated glass windows offer clear viewing for perfect results. Accurate variable timing control from 1 - 8 delivers fast and even toasting. Extra-wide slot automatically self-centers to accommodate the thickest bagels, baguettes and toast. Magimix toaster offers four settings: toast, defrost, bagel (one-sided toasting), reheat. Defrost function first defrosts then toasts bread and the reheat button reheats toast without drying. Extra lift rises higher to safely remove smaller items. Hinged glass windows slide down for easy cleaning and crumb tray slides out for effortless cleanup. Commercial-grade stainless-steel construction for durability is designed to last 30,000 uses. Robot-Coupe was founded in the early 1960s in Burgundy, France, famous for fine cooking and creating kitchen essentials for gourmet cooks. Producing appliances for leading restaurants and hotels, Robot-Coupe created the world's first commercial food processor and founded Magimix in 1971 to introduce the food processor to home chefs around the world. Today Magimix by Robot-Coupe continues to develop innovative kitchen products with longevity and energy efficiency for home chefs.

Finally! After many toaster ovens that can't seem to make a decent piece of toast, I went with the Magimix. I am very happy with this toaster. I Like that I can see the toast while it is browning.Easy to use & clean, and does not take up much space.

Wanna watch your bread slices get toasty brown? This thing is the BEST-makes crunchy yet tender toast out of all the slices I've tried. Sure, it's pricey but after dealing with way-less-expensive toasters and their uneven performance, I would recommend this appliance! Awesome! Love it!

This toaster performs all the functions it's advertised to do, and does them well. The bagel, defrost, and reheat features all work well. You can watch the toast and hit the stop button when it's reached the desired browning level. Wish I'd had this toaster years ago! And, it looks bold, beautiful and modern.

Expensive but worth it! I wasn't sure the see-through feature would be all that helpful, but find it is wonderful to actually see how toasted something is then simply push the STOP button. The appliance is solid, well designed, looks great, and works very well. The bagel setting is a real bonus -- I like being able to just toast one side.

As the art of the toaster has apparently been lost--my mother's 1947 Toastmaster performed well for some 20 years--I've gone through a series of modern models with varying degrees of disappointment. This one actually works--i.e., it toasts bread of various kinds, muffins, bagels--quite well. It is rather larger than I expected, but the side windows are clever, allowing one to watch the process and, if one's paying attention, save the toast before it becomes . . . toast.

It is a beautiful toaster for your kitchen. The toaster works well toasting a variety of breads. You can see that it toasts just the right amount through the glass window.

Magimix Toaster- uneven toasting problem

PostedApril 22, 2014

Momo2014

fromDallas, TX, USA

My Cooking Level:Expert

I was so excited to purchase this toaster. It is visually beautiful and I thought that seeing the bread as it toasts would allow for a perfectly toasted piece at any time. Since I start each day with toast and tea, I was happy to spend the money on a quality product. The problem with this toaster is that it burns the top of the toast every time at every setting while other parts of the bread are too light. I was so disappointed.

After toaster after toaster working for only a few weeks and then either breaking or taking forever to toast our toast (over 4 minutes!) we are finally content with this new unit. I HIGHLY recommend this toaster. Its fast, its evenly toasted and awesome to look at / display in our kitchen

Clever use of glass, but that's it. Mine keeps popping up randomly, usually before the toast is even Luke warm. And the company does not respond to the problem. Don't waste your money!!

$200 is a lot for a toaster. But it comes with a window. The idea of the window is cool in the same way as a window in your dryer is cool. But $200 is a lot for a toaster that that usually costs far less.That said, this is a great toaster, probably the best toaster we ever bought. Heavier, way heavier than I expected. It is heavy in a substantial way, but not back breaking. Hoping that translates to longevity. The window is fun, but the knob settings are pretty reliable and browns the toast to what you would expect and quickly. And, it looks great. So, this is more than I spent on my last two toasters and would quickly do it again.

I've been buying toasters throughout my life (I'm going to be 60) and NEVER have I found a toaster that made adequate toast, no matter how much money I spent. Until Magimix. And it makes magical toast! It was so good that for days after its arrival we made toast for every meal using every type of bread, roll, English muffin, bagel, etc. In short We LOVE IT! It is a very good value if what you want is an appliance that does what you hope it will do-make perfectly toasted bread the first time you set the darkness dial.

We've only had this toaster for about a week, so haven't had a chance to use it much. But so far, we really like it. Who would have thought that a toaster would make the toast itself taste so much better? This one does! Crispy on the outside & warm a soft on the inside. And because you can see it browning, you can cut it off at just the right moment. It's expensive for a toaster, but so far we think it's worth the money.

Having clear sides on a toaster is brilliant! And it's great to have the option of toasting only one side for bagels & baguettes. The ONLY thing I would think about changing is having double slots instead of just one - my other toaster is the same size (length & width) but has 2 slots so I can toast more at a time when needed.
